Best way to learn if you ask me.

Redhat will do the ifconfig and route statements for you. So,
delete these out of your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. Also, I
would recommmend to optimize your network performance with
TCP windows. This is documented in the TrinityOS doc:
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/index-linux.html
>And that's all Ive done, It seems to be working ok. But, i get an error on

routed is a routing protocol which you DON'T need nor want. Disable it
by running "ntsysv" and unselecting that daemon.

Naw.. Redhat's 5.2 kernel has everything under the sun module'ized into
it. Unless you are comfortable with recompiling, don't mess with it.
If you are curious, kernel compiling is covered in the TrinityOS doc
too.

SECURITY. Again.. read the TrinityOS doc.
